Cover of the novel BOY, written by Nicole Galland, a New York Times best selling author.
Just starting BOY by @nicolegalland.bsky.social (on the recommendation of @austintichenor.bsky.social) and looking forward to visiting Elizabethan London for a while #Booksky 💙📚
New on the podcast, author @nicolegalland.bsky.social joins us to talk about the world of boy players, young apprentices who performed women’s roles onstage in England before 1660. Her novel, "Boy," follows one of these real-life members in Shakespeare’s company. www.folger.edu/podcasts/sha...
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :-)
Just finished @nicolegalland.bsky.social BOY 📚 💙 - really enjoyed it! Xander & Joan are such a compelling pair, could really picture London as a place, and the players were fun. And Joan’s finale speeches were so satisfying! (I may even have shouted aloud “Go Joan go, stick it to him!”)
Oooh this is happy-making to read :-)
I’m a part-time Irelander and was just in Galway last weekend so this is especially pleasant!)
I wrote about @nicolegalland.bsky.social’s fun historical novel BOY for @folgerlibrary.bsky.social and how (among many other delightful things), it amplifies one of Shakespeare’s great meta-theatrical moments. @americantheatre.org

An excerpt from BOY by @nicolegalland.bsky.social, her hugely entertaining new novel about one of Shakespeare's boy actors. Out next month but available for pre-order now! I loved it.
NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.
Samuel Beckett (to himself after waiting ten minutes outside the dressing room while his mom tries on jeans): “I’ll wait. But I’ve waited long enough. For what? Her call. Then I’ll wait for her call.”
Post by Bishop Talbert Swan: Caucacity is @RobertKennedyJr lecturing Black people on how to raise Black children to be resilient when he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, inherited multi millions of dollars from a family trust fund, went to private schools and had a fully paid Harvard education, yet still wasn’t resilient enough not to get hooked on heroin for most of his adult life.
RFK, Jr. is the last person who should stand on any soap box and moralize.
Slow. Clap.
The lighter side of sausage-making in the era of #Shakespeare - wish I’d put this gag into my novel #BOY!
It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox
